Google has taken to Twitter today to announce the dates on which Google I/O 2013 will be held. This year’s developer conference will take place starting on May 15, and run until the 17th.

Much like Android itself, Google has turned Google I/O into something rather amazing in a very short amount of time. Not only is I/O the number one gathering spot for all things Google, it also covers the latest mobile software and hardware. Google has used the event as a launchpad for new products and services. If you’re an Android enthusiast, that alone should pique your interest in attending. Never mind the free tablets and phones handed out every year.

Last year’s I/O was huge. There were over the top presentations with skydivers and the Nexus 7, Nexus Q and Google Glass were all on display. We also got our first taste of Jelly Bean. Who knows what Google has in store for I/O 2013.

If you have any interest in attending, be sure to follow Google I/O on Twitter. Registration info is expected to be made available in early 2013. Tickets have a tendency to sell out in a matter of minutes.

Exactly. Android hasn’t been picking very good hardware partners. Asus was ok. I think they need to revisit HTC and pick up Motorola. Sony is another great hardware OEM. Would love to see a Nexus with astounding build quality.

I really like the look of Nokia’s Windows phones, it would be great to see them producing some Android handsets. I bet their current deal with Microsoft will prevent it though. The job ad that had been widely publicised offers some hope, but I suspect it is to do with Nokia’s mapping software.

Honestly, I’d prefer for there not to be a newer version of Android. You’ve got to let the other manufacturers catch up you know? This won’t apply to me anymore since I’m getting a Nexus 4 but my Sensation is still stuck on CM9 (officially) which hurts. And if anything, Google can always implement new features through their G-Apps like what they do with Google Now.

5000mAh would be great, but with out a jump in tech the phone would be 6″plus. The note2s battery is 3200mAh and is hard to empty in a day.

The average user would get 2 days out of it. The drawback of a good battery is I sometimes forget to charge it. Now I’d of never forgot before hand and my devices was on charge topping up whenever possible.

I would really love to slightly larger mAh on the batter, but also screen technology that really reduces the amount of power it drains. It’s not all about the size of the battery, it’s how you use it! ;0)

I would LOVE to see Google snatch up T-mo. I don’t think they’d go that low with pricing, but I would assume they’d go a bit lower than T-mobile’s current pricing. The thing that excites me though, is that Google would expand it to be the best coverage, fastest data, with the lowest plan pricing. With T-mobile going non-subsidy next year, next stop: Google.

Then — multiple Nexus phones with multiple form factors will be available, G-mobile will replace T-mobile, and all T-mobile stores across the US will become Google Stores – selling G-mobile plans, phones, tablets and chromebooks as well as accessories for all of them. Phone manufacturers that want phones sold to G-mobile users will have to pay Google to include them in stores.

And if you mention any apple product in-store you will be kicked out immediately.

Could be an opportunity to announce Android 5.0 and Nexus 5? If a Nexus 5, seems it would need to have around a 5.5″ screen to differentiate it from the Nexus 4. Or perhaps the next Nexus 4 will be downsized a bit with the Nexus 5 coming in at around 5″.

So last year when Google was talking about a multi-device nexus program, I thought they would release multiple vendor nexus devices simultaneously. However, with the launch of the N4, N7, N10, it seems that we still may be stuck with the 1 flagship nexus per device category. I just wish more vendors would use vanilla android. Moto Nexus, Sammy Nexus, HTC Nexus, etc…

what gives with the rank requirement nonsense on the daily giveaways? i check this blog out daily and just because i don’t clutter the comment sections with pointless dribble shouldn’t mean that i should be excluded. now i know this is how you treat your readers.

I love the fact that I can fit the nexus 7 in my pocket. That and the preformance, make this one awesome machine. I bought it at launch, The only change I would make to it would be a microSD slot to expand the memory. 16gb is good, but with games like NOVA3 great game, but was taking almost 3gb with the update. That’s just too much space for one app no matter how good it is. But my wife and kids who are NOT techies, are on it more often than I am. Anyone can pick this up and run with a it. Although I do prefer Go Launcher HD to the stock launcher. It’s a great machine.

I really want to go to this. All that swag needs a home. Anyone interested in paying my way or just giving out a ticket. I’m your man. Right here. I’ll take one for the team and go to this conference for you. ;)

KLP seems a given, but with a new version we generally get new hardware too, and that is only 6 month from the recent all new Nexus devices (other than the 7). It would be interesting if they did bring out a new nexus phone, as rumours have pointed too in the past, but I think it would be more likely they release multiple nexus at the same time than 6 months apart (wouldn’t LG feel a bit ripped off?)

What I would really love is even further rollout of the Play store. I know dealing with the music/movie/publishing industry is hard, but a viable alternative to iTunes would be welcomed in any country (speaking as someone who has spent a lot of time in New Zealand where currently it is iTunes or physical media with no in between… And I’m not willing to use iTunes)

I was psyched to go this year – my boss was aware of the pace at which the tickets sell out at and was prepared. However more strict travel guidelines have been passed and the likelihood of my going are also slim to none, so I feel your pain.

Very interested to see what happens with the Nexus 7 (successor perhaps?) and the next version of Android. It would be nice if they got back to a somewhat normal release schedule for updates and even one for devices. I wish that the Nexus line could all be refreshed at once on an annual basis coinciding with a major OS update, rather than this past years’ one sort of significant update and one minimal, almost meaningless update. I’m hesitant to buy a Nexus 7 or 10 at this point.

What do you think the chances are I’ll be able to register in time? Based on the issues with google play and the order in of a nexus this one sounds pretty much like they better figure out how to scale.

Super excited. One of these days I plan on attending one of these, but alas, another year streaming videos with my bar-code scanner ready just in case they announce some sort of Chromebook-esque type deal.

Im still praying and wait for the day when Google wakes up and sees that great potential from there recent partnership from Asus. If Google truly wants to harmonize there products they should make the next Nexus program the best ever by working on a Padfone type design with Asus. By making the super powerful phone equipped with the ability to plug into different “docks” to create different experiences. The phone plugs into the tablet which launches tablet mode, then the tablet plugs into the laptop dock or desktop dock and launches a version of chrome OS (kinda like Motorola tried but failed horribly on the software side) and then plug into a media dock and it launches a version of Google TV. Google has unlimited potential to grow the platform based on the building blocks they have formed. Now just imagine if they where able to partner with Dish and launch there own cell network now that would be truly amazing..All i can do for now though is sit back and hope that there are thinking of these things to or at least reading this at some point lol..

I think Google should really reconsider HTC as their hardware partner for the upcoming Nexus phone. HTC needs a jumpstart and launching a Nexus device would really help with brand recognition. HTC needs to stay relevant for the sake of competition
